Capítulo 1541: Chapter 828: Probing
Seeing this sudden change, Dorothy, who had been planning to step forward, stopped in her tracks. She silently retreated behind Danica, intending to first see how the Countess would handle the situation.
After all, this matter had nothing to do with her. Clearly, the person on the other side was here to make trouble for Danica, while the celebrity sister in front was just unlucky, inexplicably becoming the reason for the conflict between the two sides.
Tsk, beauty really is a curse. Before one has the strength to protect oneself, being too outstanding always invites trouble.
Watching the celebrity sister caught between the two sides and in a difficult position, Dorothy couldn’t help but sigh inwardly.
How innocent this celebrity sister was. She was probably chosen because she was too striking yet lacked the corresponding status and strength, making her an easy target.
Weak and yet outstanding, this is the original sin.
She couldn’t help but praise her own cleverness for always hiding her Face of God.
However, this is the Dracula family’s territory, after all, also the Countess’s ho base. Who was so bold as to dare to provoke here?
Dorothy was a bit curious and carefully scrutinized this unexpected guest.
Vampires, much like elves, are a race that naturally produces handso n and beautiful won. Witches are similar, and with a double buff, the vampire clan witches are almost all beauties, so there’s nothing much to say about their appearance—pretty is good enough.
It’s just that this person’s temperant was more unique. Her eyes showed a distinctive harshness, making her recognizable rather than just another attractive face.
Her very neat, extrely traditional noble attire, and the self-satisfied smile on her lips, as if everything was within her grasp, seed to indicate she was soone who valued tradition or status and held a high position, accustod to controlling everything with dominance.
She was quite a rare dark-dominant CEO type, not often seen among hobody witches.
It’s just that she indeed had the qualifications to be a domineering CEO, as she was a Marquis.
Hmm, so this was a Peak Witch.
Good grief, no wonder she was so bold, daring to stir up trouble in Dracula’s own territory—she was like a dragon crossing the river.
Who knows which family’s Marquis this was?
Although it seed like this wasn’t too important; after all, the remaining twelve families among the Thirteen Vampire Clan Families were all opponents of the Dracula family.
It’s laughable, being called the leader of the Thirteen Clans, yet you’re the only outsider.
Dorothy mused on the Dracula family’s predicant.
Although Annie had ntioned this to her before, seeing it now, the decline of what was once the royal vampire family was even worse than she had expected—soone was brazenly exerting pressure directly on them.
The hobody witch looked a bit worriedly at Danica in front of her, unsure if the Countess could withstand the pressure of a Marquis.
….
“Lekti, take your hands off. It’s truly a disgrace to nobility to trouble a lady like this,”
Danica looked at this “old friend” in front of her and spoke unceremoniously.
She was sowhat angry at this point. After all, this was the first task she was managing for Lady Dorothy. She wanted to handle it beautifully, win over the God of Cookery’s favor, and with so luck, learn a trick or two, paving her way to the pinnacle of culinary arts.
But while the ideal was beautiful, reality was stark, and at this critical mont, she encountered the last person she wanted to see.
Lekti, her “good classmate”.
The two were of the sa generation of vampires, embraced into the vampire clan witchhood around the sa ti by their elders.
Before being embraced, Lekti was the child of a small noble family, highly regarded, while she was just an ordinary wandering gourt.
However, during the vampire embrace assessnt, she entered the leader of the Thirteen Clans, the Dracula family, whereas the proud and aspiring Lekti was regrettably not chosen and ended up with the second clan, the Vanzo family.
From that point on, they were at odds.
Danica hadn’t taken this to heart much, as joining the vampire clan hadn’t been about competing for rank. She was simply tempted by the Dracula family’s secret stash of Blood Brew.
But Lekti wasn’t content with that previous failure. Since then, she compared herself with Danica in everything.
Of course, the results were mostly a 70/30 split—she was seven, Lekti three.
Well, she had always had the upper hand over Lekti until a century ago when Lady Mother extracted a large amount of Blood of Ascension to recreate the True Ancestor’s container.
By then, Danica was just a step away from the Marquis position, but Lady Mother’s plan used up the last of the Marquis-level Blood of Ascension, directly blocking her path forward.
In contrast, Lekti’s upgrade ceremony went smoothly, promoting her to the Marquis of the Vanzo family.
Yet this person was truly vengeful. Even as a Marquis, she still insisted on comparing everything with Danica, and this ti the offensive and defensive situation had reversed.
Their victories and losses remained a 70/30 split, but the roles had reversed with Danica three, and the opponent seven.
Danica was quite fed up with this person. Was bullying and dominating the weak so entertaining? She was already a Marquis; couldn’t she aim higher and compare herself with other Marquises?
For example, compete with Lady Camilla or Lady Elizabeth.
Well, that’s not feasible, because even among Marquises, there are differences.
Dracula family Marquises are not of the sa level as those of other clans. Others beco Marquises because that’s their limit, whereas Lady Camilla and Lady Elizabeth are Marquises because the current level cap ends at Marquis.
